Guide Specification for Deck-O-Grip : Non-Yellowing, Acrylic, Slip-Resistant Cure and Seal

GUIDE SPECIFICATION FOR DECK-O-GRIP®: NON-YELLOWING, ACRYLIC, SLIP-RESISTANT CURE AND SEAL

SECTION 03 39 23

MEMBRANE CONCRETE CURING

Specifier Notes: This guide specification is written according to the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) Format. The section must be carefully reviewed and edited by the Architect or Engineer to meet the requirements of the project. Coordinate this section with other specification sections and the drawings.
Specifier Notes: W. R. MEADOWS® DECK-O-GRIP is a non-yellowing, acrylic-based, high solids, transparent, easy-to-apply liquid cure and seal. It provides a clear, flexible and durable abrasion- and stain-resistant protective film. DECK-O-GRIP also offers improved resistance to most of today’s common pool chemicals. It is specifically designed to retain and enhance the appearance of colored concrete and exposed aggregate surfaces for years to come. The compound contains a slip-resistant additive, which establishes an easy-to-clean, non-slip surface for traditionally slippery areas.
DECK-O-GRIP is designed for various exterior concrete applications, including swimming pool areas and exposed aggregate.
DECK-O-GRIP meets the maximum VOC content limits of 700 g/L for Concrete Curing and Sealing Compounds as required by the U.S. EPA Architectural Coatings Rule.
